Improve your productivity with the help of this no-frills utility that allows you to capture and paste a wide array of content to and from your computer's clipboard

As we're sure you agree, the clipboard is one of the instrumental components of any Windows operating system. The only "problem" with it is the fact that it can only hold one item of data at a time.

While for most day-to-day users this is by no means a nuisance, other, more advanced users might want something with a bit more versatility. Fortunately, there are enough competent tools for expanding the reach of your OS's clipboard.

One such tool goes by the name of ClipAngel, and right-off-the-bat, we're going to tell you that it's not the best clipboard manager out there yet it's more powerful than you might initially be led to believe.

Convenient clipboard utility that does not require installation

It does not require any type of installation or pre-configuration, just as long as .NET Framework 4.5 or later is present on your computer's system. Simply download the package, extract the content and launch the utility via its executable file. At this point, you should notice that ClipAngel also integrates with your computer's taskbar.

You can summon the app's UI with the help of its taskbar icon or, even easier, you can use the ALT+V key shortcut. It sports an interface that is by no means impressive regarding looks, but at least the layout is a very intuitive one.

Not exactly feature-rich, but it gets the job done

In terms of features, we will start off by saying that it comes with support for texts, images, as well as HTML and RTF data and files. Another important feature that is worth pointing out is the fact that this app allows you to organize the clipboard entries by adding them to a Favorites section, easily accessible by pressing ALT+B.

Even though it may not look like it, ClipAngel is actually a very customizable application, as you can find out by visiting its Settings section. Among other things, you can change various hotkeys, switch between various format modes, as well as enable a handy portable mode.

Above average clipboard tool

All in all, ClipAngel proposes a straightforward way to enhance your computer's clipboard capabilities. Disregarding its somewhat outdated UI, this little utility ticks most of the right boxes: it's lightweight, fairly intuitive, it integrates with your computer's taskbar, and it's more customizable than most other apps of this sort.
